Determine the value of W so that the line whose equations is 5x-2y= -w passes through the point at (-1,3)
-------------
Sub for x and y
5*(-1) - 2*3 = -w
-5 - 6 = -w
w = 11

Determine the value of W so that the line whose equations is 5x-2y= -w passes through the point at (-1,3)
---------------------------
5x-2y = -w
---
5(-1)-2(3) = -w
-11 = -w
w = 11
-----
Equation:
5x - 2y = 11
